You can buy 2ct from
http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Categories.bok?category=TIRES%2C+WHEELS+%26+WARMER S%3AMichelin+tires%3APilot+Power+2ct
for that price, but you know I may have paid a little more at Tergins for my 2ct's but they had them in stock and George went out of his way to install them for me the next day ! To me that's worth paying a little extra.
Amen! I did the same thing! I guess I'm one of them impatient people too though.

Both tires get pretty good reviews, I have the road attacks and I like them a whole lot better than my previous bridgestones. I might buy a set for later at this price.
Lol yes, anything is better than STOCK tires. They're def. meant for mileage not grip. The aftermarket stones however are like a new kind of beast. Those road attacks on your bike do look like a pretty sweet tire though

Due to the added labor of removing the wheels from the bike, mounting new rubber will be more expensive if you bring the whole bike in, rather than just the wheels...

It saved me abot $30 a wheel by taking them off and taking them in. Only took me about 15 min to remove and another 15 to put back on lol
